Hey guys, I was just curious if anyone had these or saw them on a Z. Opinions? Depending on how much these pieces are, they might be a cheaper alternative to vented cf hoods, help with heat dissipation, and also add a nice visual touch.



The top right pic looks like its on a Z but I'd like to see a full size picture.

 

Just saw them on a site for around 60 bucks for one.

 

just found another pic. My Z is Silverstone though and I think I'd have the vents facing the opposite way as in the first pic.

no disrespect...but April Fools was about 25 days ago...

 

Not feelin em huh

 

ahhhhhh yeah.... 280ZX niceness...

i'm not really into those, unless the car is putting out so much power (and heat) via turbo where its a requirement.

 

sorry man didn't know u were serious.

they remind me of those riced out civics with vents that are just "stick-ons"... that don't really work. But if you are going to cut holes in your stock hood for those, I honestly suggest getting a vented hood instead. IMO they look pretty tacky...just not something I would put on a $30,000+ sports car. To each their own. just my 2 cents.

good luck.

 

no worries, I asked for opinions.

 

Well, I don't really fancy the shape of the vents that you posted, but they're a decent alternative to a CF hood that will cost you about 1K by the time it's painted and installed. Since I don't think they're all that good looking, I also would hope they have some functional purpose.

 

the vent exit should be facing the windsheild...

who ever mounted those vents on the lemans Z has em backward.

 

i dont like them...looks cheap....uhhhh, i guess it is

 

Yea I don't think I would put some goofy sticker thing on my car to make it look cool IMO you should go with the real deal maybe like a Seibon Ts Style hood. http://www.seibon.com/pdut_detail_pic.asp?ItemID=321

 

I'm partial to the Seibon VT hood myself.....Nothing like the real deal.....

 

Ollie ... that dirty LA air is getting to you man .... making you dillusional and ish ... come back to SD, where you can think clearly and stay away from tack on hood louvers

j/k man ... I don't like em though

peace,
jimbo

 

I like your taste

It's already in my sig
